Whether you’re crunching numbers or considering your brand’s reach in a less tangible way, it’s virtually impossible to speak about marketing success without including video.

How Video Marketing Contributes to the Development of Your Real Estate Brand

Bringing your value proposition to life

Your value proposition helps paint a picture of how your services solve customers’ problems. This establishes relevancy. It’s also responsible for providing your audience with a quantified value, or an explanation of specific benefits that your brand delivers. Finally, it explains why clients should work with you instead of turning to your competition.

Video marketing is an excellent way to bring this powerful, sales-driven message to life. We can communicate much more quickly and effectively via video (which allows us to leverage visuals and audio) than through writing. Through video, you can show future clients exactly what they have to gain from working with you.

Increased brand awareness

Brand awareness is integral to business success. You want potential clients and customers to heavily associate your brand and properties with something positive, useful, or necessary— this not only positions you as an ideal choice when it comes time to get to work, but it ensures that your audience will be able to recall your existence later, too.

Lower costs per lead

Marketing can get expensive fast. As price-per-lead creeps up, the monetary payoff of the effort you put in behind the computer screen or camera starts to nosedive. Video marketing makes for an ideal lead acquisition strategy because it has an exceptionally low cost-per-lead.

Other marketing methodslike SEO, retargeting, and email marketing often run cheaper, but are not always as effective or take longer to pay off. Today’s consumers want their options laid out in front of them— not clogging up email inboxes or hiding five pages deep in search engine results pages.

No matter your reason for exploring your video marketing options, a host of positive factors justify an extended effort into the creation of valuable video content. Your clients and customers will love getting a more intimate view of your brand, while your sales and marketing teams will funnel their efforts into marketing that’s both engaging and profitable.
